1. Gobbet

   A gobbet is generally a short structured commentary on an assigned passage or source (including photographs, coins, and other items), often set for students to complete in examinations. It is typically seen in humanities subjects such as classics, history, literature, philosophy, and religion. Gobbets differ from essays in being focused on the examination of a single object or text, not needing to make an argument, and often not referring to additional sources. The outline of a gobbet will vary, but it is usually a brief piece of analysis where the student must identify the source of the passage, place it in a wider context, and explain important names, terms, and references in the passage. The Durham University's Theology and Religion department suggests a gobbet should be around 500 words in length; the University of Exeter's "Hercules Project" suggests that a gobbet answer should be around one quarter of the length of an essay.

1. Gobbet

   In modern usage, a gobbet is an extract of text, or image, provided as a context for analysis, translation or discussion in an examination. The Oxford English Dictionary contains no references to gobbets as literary fragments before 1913. Historically a gobbet is a small chunk of meat, roughly the size of a mouthful. It is derived from the Old French gober which is related to the modern word gobble. Dr Martin Groves of Oxford Brookes University describes a Gobbet as a 300 word evaluation, including references of casual research.
